Before building the house, Ling Chi had instructed Shuang'er, who lived down the mountain, to buy six sets of ready-made bedding. Now, Shuang'er and Lu Wushuang had brought the bedding back and laid it on the bed. With the help of Cheng Ying and Guo Fu, they had also cleaned the house inside and out so that everyone could get a good night's sleep.
"Young Ling, this old beggar is convinced." Hong Qigong conceded defeat.
That speed is undeniable.
Ling Chi waved his hand, ate two pieces of cut cake, and finally replenished his strength and energy. If it weren't for the cut cake, he would have collapsed from exhaustion after a whole afternoon of intense work.
"You can stay here tonight!" Ling Chi said. "The women can stay upstairs, and the men can stay downstairs."
Everyone nodded in agreement.
"Young Master Ling... Young Hero Ling," Guo Fu asked, "Where do we go to take a bath?"
Although she hadn't done much work that afternoon, she had been traveling all day and was already quite dirty. For a young lady from a prominent family like her, it was impossible to sleep without taking a bath at night.
"There's a pool not far from here," Ling Chi said with a smile. "Let Wushuang take you there!"
"Leave it to me!" Lu Wushuang volunteered. "I've been running around all day, I need to take a shower too!"
"Then you women can go to the pool to bathe together, and we men can rinse ourselves off with the well water in the yard," Ling Chi said with a smile. "Don't come back too early and peek at us while we're bathing."
"Pooh!"
"Pooh!"
The women spat lightly, feigning anger.
Chapter Forty: Blue Top Grade
Originally, Huang Yaoshi and his group only planned to stay at Ling Chi's place for three to five days before leaving. However, because Ling Chi built them a new wooden house, and they were able to eat delicious food they had never tasted before and see many novel and interesting things every day, they ended up staying for more than half a year. If it weren't for the news that the Beggars' Sect had returned in triumph and that Guo Jing was about to return to Xiangyang, they probably would have continued to stay.
They came as a group of five, but left as a group of seven.
Yes, Huang Rong gave birth. Guo Polu and Guo Xiang were born right under Ling Chi's nose.
When these two children were born, they didn't look like little monkeys at all; on the contrary, they were quite cute with delicate features.
Because of his experience in postpartum care, Ling Chi took care of the two children almost entirely during that month, except for breastfeeding. This moved Huang Rong deeply, and she even said she wanted the two children to recognize him as their godfather.
Ling Chi agreed without hesitation. Of Huang Rong's three children, Guo Fu had gone astray, but the other two were both lovable. One died for his country after the fall of Xiangyang, while the other founded the Emei Sect.
Guo Polu and Guo Xiang are two very good children, and he likes them very much.
Unfortunately, the two children were still young, and Huang Rong could not let them stay here. Ling Chi could only part with them for the time being.
After the two children left, Ling Chi felt a little lost, which made Xiao Long Nu feel guilty: "Brother Ling, I'm sorry."
After several years of marriage and countless acts of intimacy, Xiaolongnu's belly remained flat. According to the ancient people's thinking, if a woman couldn't have a child, it must be her fault, and Xiaolongnu thought so too.
"Long'er is useless; she can't leave the Ling family with a son or daughter."
"Alright, alright." Ling Chi couldn't stand it anymore and comforted him, "It's not that Long'er is useless, it's my fault."
"..." Little Dragon Girl blinked, looking puzzled.
“Actually…” Ling Chi said, “I can live forever because of certain issues.”
"???" Little Dragon Girl was stunned.
"But because you are immortal, you can't have children." Ling Chi put his arm around Xiaolongnu's waist and said, "So don't feel guilty, because you will also be immortal in the future." He paused, "Then I will take you to a place. Although it is a small place, you will live a carefree life. Don't you like beekeeping? You can keep bees there every day and make me delicious honey, okay?"
"..." Although Xiaolongnu was full of doubts, she simply nodded and did not ask any further questions.
……
"Big brother, I want to go out and explore the world." Three days after Huang Rong and the others left, Lu Wushuang said this while eating breakfast.
Ling Chi looked up at her and asked, "Why do you suddenly want to venture into the martial world?"
“Look, I’m all grown up now. It’s no fun staying here all day, so I think I should travel around and become a chivalrous heroine,” Lu Wushuang said.
Lu Wushuang is fifteen years old this year, which is already the age for marriage and childbirth in ancient times. Moreover, Lu Wushuang has been well-fed and cared for by Ling Chi's side all these years, and her figure has developed much better than that of ordinary girls.
Lu Wushuang is now about 1.65 meters tall. Her figure isn't particularly slender; she's more like the plump and graceful Yang Guifei, but not fat. It's precisely this figure that gives her a unique charm—if you had to describe her, she'd be a "meat fish" (not a typo!).
Such women are easily captured by bandits and thugs to give birth to their children.
Ling Chi chuckled lightly: "I'm afraid you won't be able to be a female knight-errant, and you'll become the second Li Mochou."
"No way!" Lu Wushuang shook her head repeatedly: "I will never become Li Mochou, I don't want to be beaten to death by my big brother."
"you sure?"
"I'm sure!" Lu Wushuang said seriously, "If I do anything bad in the martial arts world, may I die a horrible death."
"..." Ling Chi took a sip of his porridge and said, "Since you've made the preparations, then go!"
Lu Wushuang's face lit up with joy: "Thank you, big brother. I'll go pack my luggage now."
Watching Lu Wushuang run upstairs with light steps, Shuang'er asked, "Brother, is this alright?"
“Wushuang has grown up; it’s time for her to see the world.” Ling Chi smiled slightly. “After all, we can’t be with her forever.”
"..." Shuang'er nodded and said, "I'll go help her tidy up."
"Ah."
……
Soon after, Lu Wushuang, carrying a small bundle and holding a sword, bid farewell to everyone and went down the mountain.
Watching her retreating figure, Ling Chi sighed softly, "Unknowingly, six years have passed."
The little girl who broke her leg back then has grown up.
He turned to look at Little Dragon Girl and asked, "Dragon Girl, do you want to go down the mountain and explore the world?"
Little Dragon Girl shook her head: "There are too many people down the mountain, I don't like it."
Ling Chi smiled slightly and said, "Long'er really hasn't changed."
"Why change?" Little Dragon Girl asked, puzzled. "Isn't it better not to change?"
“There’s nothing wrong with that,” Ling Chi smiled. “Precisely because nothing has changed, Long’er is still Long’er.”
"???"
"It's nothing, let's go back!" Ling Chi said, "I haven't fed Ouyang Feng an ice pop yet today!"
"..."
……
"Ouyang Feng, eat my big stick!"
"Ahhhhhh—my mouth~~~~~~~~~" Ouyang Feng cried and sneezed.
The Golden Wheel Monk squatted to one side, trembling.
After dozens of attempts, a long-awaited notification sound finally rang out.
"Ding, you have conquered 56 diners of the same level and 4405 diners of lower level. The upgrade conditions have been met. Host Ling Chi's cooking skills have been promoted to the top blue level."
"Ding! Congratulations to host Ling Chi for raising his cooking skills to the blue top level. You are rewarded with a one-time high-level purple recipe, [Dragon Meat Pastry]."
"Dragon Meat Crispy Pastry: Advanced Purple Recipe, all attributes increase by 20 after consumption."
……
Bathed in the upgraded golden light, Lingchi experienced a spiritual and physical uplift.
A moment later, Ling Chi opened his attribute panel, saw his current status, and smiled with satisfaction.
